Buds and weed in Antofagasta, Chile - my impression

Hello dear rasta audience🤝Want to tell my story about adventures with weed in Antofagasta, with some stories of local inhabitant.

You are probably aware that marijuana laws are different in different places. This article should shed light on cannabis regulations in Antofagasta, what do local people and cops think about weed, hash availability, pricing, my own experience etc.

I have just finished my trip to Antofagasta, stayed there for 10 days, now got back home, writing this post while memory is fresh and with a solid joint in my left hand. As a regular weed smoker I could not imagine my stay in Antofagasta without having some weed in my pocket. Below I will outline information I found out while looking for some good smelly green buds in Antofagasta.

Where can one acquire cannabis in Antofagasta?

Although I personally didn't face any issues with obtaining cannabis in Antofagasta thanks to Sam, he did enlighten me about the process (and not just related to cannabis).

Typically, higher-level dealers procure their inventory from wholesale darknet websites. In theory, you could navigate the complexities of using darknet platforms to have your order delivered in a matter of days or even weeks. The website thehiddenwiki.com provides all the necessary links to make purchases in the darknet using the Tor browser and cryptocurrencies. However, this method is generally more suitable for those seeking larger quantities and have the luxury of time (several days) for delivery.

If you are just having a short vacation or a trip to Antofagasta - purchasing weed via wholesale darknet websites is not an option. Looking for dealers on the streets and in parks is still something you may do to find some weed in Antofagasta, but more and more dealers are shifting to online orders done via messengers and payments in bitcoins instead of cash. This simply protects them from ever being caught by cops. Crypto payments are anonymous and delivery is done to selected location without any personal meetings, so both you and the dealer are secured from any possible consequences.

This was a surprise for me cause I am more old school and just “heard something about crypto”. While now all youngsters (who are usually a target group for cannabis dealers) have crypto wallets so dealers simply follow the trend. I think dealers are losing money anyway because not all clients know crypto, but Sam commented that nowadays if you do not use crypto - you 100% have a friend who uses it, so you may just send him money from card and he does crypto transaction for you. After that I remembered I also have such a friend, so I agreed with Sam.

Marijuana regulations in Antofagasta, Chile

You should know that storage and distribution of non-medical cannabis is forbidden and strictly regulated by laws of Chile. This means you can not go and buy some good weed in an official shop like you may do in Canada for example. Low THC and high CBD cannabis may be ordered if you have a prescription from a doctor.

On my first evening in Antofagasta I met Sam who moved here a couple of years ago. I got lucky - he was one of the heavy weed smokers, so he agreed to share a joint with me and tell me some stories about local dealers. As he said from the very beginning - even though weed is prohibited in Antofagasta - cops are overall calm and relaxed in everything related to cannabis, this made me feel better.

How not to be arrested with marijuana in Antofagasta?

As Sam told me - for not to be arrested you can carry less than 10g of cannabis or 5g of hash. For the same purpose you should be sane and not use drugs in public places. Cops can just check if you are going to sell marijuana or not and confiscate it.

There are some possibilities that cops could try to get money from you if they catch you with weed in Antofagasta. It is not a frequent story, but you should keep in mind that some cops prefer to force you to pay some money for your calmness. But not to propose money first because it can be regarded as a separate crime. So the easiest way is not to be caught with weed in Antofagasta 😉.

What do Antofagasta locals think about weed and cannabis

Despite non-medical cannabis being officially forbidden in Antofagasta - locals are absolutely absolutely relaxed about this type of light drugs. Young people and tourists are large target audiences for weed dealers in Antofagasta, and all locals know that. This does not mean you may smoke joints in any bars, but no one should be surprised if they find you smoking weed somewhere in the dark corner of the street.

According to Sam - even local cops in Antofagasta are occasional weed smokers, so we may state that the atmosphere is relaxed in everything related to cannabis, while you should anyway watch your back to avoid any stressful situations with police.

We were a little drunk already when Sam offered a joint of some noname sativa strain, of course I agreed. We were smoking not far from my hotel and it seems I saw other guys doing the same near another cornet 🙂So may say locals are not against weed, I saw this myself.

I liked the weed Sam shared, not the best one I’ve ever tried, but good enough. So I asked Sam to share contacts of his dealer, while he refused telling me his dealer works only with an old trusted set of clients. So I simply asked Sam if he could be my dealer during the nearest days - he agreed. I wish everyone to find his own Sam in Antofagasta🙂
